So the demon hunters are finnaly joining us in Legion. They are part of Illidari and so are Broken and Naga. What if illidan trains them too and they join horde and alliance as playable races?
Broken - at first i thought it would be best if they were a sub race for draenei, but then I realised that they are quite different since they can no longer use the light but are quite shady in comparison to the draenei.
Racials- i remember that in WC3 they had invisibility, so maybe they could get something simular to night elfs shadowmeld?
The Naga despise the Horde maybe even more than the Alliance, the Naga see themselves superior to all other races, they're mad at the Alliance for their history but they view the Horde as inferior races. (source taken from WoWWiki).

Lore changes all the time and I dont think the illidari nagas hate horde. Also the forsaken dont like horde that much either but they are part of it.
Lore-wise they could actually easily make something up.
But while I would absolutely love to see Naga as a playable race, they're still lacking the... legs.
Walking animation is no problem. Running no problem. Gear no problem. But how will they ride a mount?
By laying their tail on one side of the mount.
I'm trying to imagine it... But it just looks odd in my head.
A Tauren riding a chicken, a Gnome riding a dragon and a Pandaren riding Invincible aren't odd?
Sure, but at least they can choose a different mount.
It doesn't change the fact they are odd.
We have many weird things in this game. A Naga riding a horse is hardly crazier than a Worgen riding a chopper.
A Naga riding a horse is hardly crazier than a Worgen riding a chopper.
I dunno, I think it is :D Naga just don't suit most mounts.
Would love Naga playable race.
I already make a lot of use of that toy that turns you into a Naga for a short time. They don't really need legs, the way they move currently is fine.
As for amour, I'm sure they could manage everything but Legs/Boots but even then they could make special Naga version of new Armour.
Dunno, maybe a blessing spell of some kind that randomly morphs them into another race when they mount up lol.
Why can't naga just mount side saddled like Belfara had suggested? Side saddling is an actual ridding technique.
As for the class options, I don't understand the DK, since they weren't in Azeroth for that. I find if very hard to imagine broken, who are always described as physically weak, as demon hunters. Can't really imagine naga either, but I think for broken is really impossible. Same for monk.
Why can draenei be dk then? Broken is physically weak? So are the undead dude.. And blood elfs are also described as physically weak they couldnt even be warriors up until cata..

On July 29, the 2022 SCO Media & Think Tank Forum themed "Work together for a New Vision and Start a New Journey" was held in Jiaozhou, Qingdao. The forum is under the guidance of China International Publishing Group and the SCO Secretariat, organized by the Communication Center for Central and Eastern Europe and South-Central Asia of CIPG (China Pictorial), co-organized by the Administrative Committee of China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Area, and supported by China International Book Trading Corporation.
Du Zhanyuan, Director-General of China International Publishing Group, Yu Hongjun, former Vice Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee and former Chinese Ambassador to the Republic of Uzbekistan, Zhang Xinzhu, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Qingdao Committee, Secretary of the CPC Jiaozhou Committee, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Administrative Committee of SCODA, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Economic Demonstration Zone, Li Gang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Executive Deputy Secretary of the Administrative Committee of SCODA, Grigory Logvinov, SCO Deputy Secretary-General, Farhod Arziyev, Ambassador of Uzbekistan in China, and other guests attended the opening ceremony.
Du Zhanyuan said in his speech that China International Publishing Group is willing to continue to deepen the cooperation with media, think tanks, and cultural institutions of SCO countries, give full play to the platforms such as SCO Media & Think Tank Forum, vigorously promote the knowledge sharing program, make SCO's voice heard, interpret SCO's proposals, and build SCO consensus, providing "SCO wisdom" to enhance people's well-being and improve global governance, and contribute to the building of a more united and closely coordinated SCO community with a shared future.
In his speech, Zhang Xinzhu said that Qingdao attaches great importance to the healthy development and in-depth cooperation in the field of media and think tanks, and has set up the expert think tanks of Qingdao We Media Association and 'Industries Empowering Qingdao' to build bridges for extensive communication and consensus among different groups, and provide a platform for the integration and common development of diverse cultures. "We sincerely invite the experts, scholars and friends from the media and think tanks of SCO countries to participate in the development of SCODA and jointly promote in-depth cooperation in the field of media and think tanks of the SCO.

We hope the friends of SCO could continue to take interest in and support Qingdao and SCODA, actively make suggestions, promote in-depth cooperation, jointly build a new platform for Belt and Road international cooperation and write a new chapter of cooperation and development."
Grigory Logvinov pointed out in his address that, at present, the equal and constructive dialogue among countries is limited, and hence SCO should play a bigger role in this regard. On the one hand, think tanks are responsible for providing intellectual support to relevant SCO institutions. On the other hand, the SCO Secretariat will actively strengthen the communication and interpretation of information. We also welcome closer cooperation between our media colleagues and the SCO Secretariat.
Yu Hongjun and other guests delivered keynote speeches.
During the forum, the Administrative Committee of China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Area signed strategic cooperation agreements with the Communication Center for Central and Eastern Europe and South-Central Asia of CIPG (China Pictorial) and China Arab TV respectively.

News | Have Your Say On New Look Wakefield Westgate
Have Your Say On New Look Wakefield Westgate
Published 20th Sep 2012 by Rebecca Walker
New East Coast station to complete city's multi-million pound transformation
Rail passengers are being invited to two special events next week in Wakefield to see plans for the city's new Westgate station.
The £8.1million project will link with Wakefield's Merchant Gate development to create an exciting new gateway to the city, which has been transformed in recent years by high-profile schemes including the world-renowned Hepworth Gallery.
There'll also be a chance to meet East Coast's station management team and put questions directly to the people in charge of providing high-speed train services linking West Yorkshire with London.
The Department for Transport's Station Commercial Project Facility fund is providing £7.1 million to support the scheme, with the remaining £1 million from the English Cities Fund (ECf), a joint venture between Muse Developments Ltd, the Homes and Communities Agency and Legal & General. ECf was responsible for the delivery of the railway car park as part of the first phase of the station redevelopment and recently completed the new Council offices.
An exhibition featuring detailed plans for the station, including artist's impressions of the new station buildings, goes on show at Wakefield One, the new Wakefield Council headquarters, on Wednesday 26 September between 12 noon and 6.30pm.
The following day, Thursday 27 September, the exhibition moves to the existing Wakefield Westgate station concourse, between 1pm and 8pm, to allow commuters returning home a convenient opportunity to comment on the plans.
The station event will also include a 'Meet the Manager' session, giving rail users a chance to meet senior managers and discuss what they like about the current East Coast train service, and to suggest areas for further improvements.
Work on building a new Westgate station is due to start by the end of this year, with completion scheduled for October 2013.
The new Wakefield Westgate station will feature:
• A new station building
• More and better retail facilities
• A new travel centre
• A new First Class Lounge and Standard waiting area
• Installation of ticket gates to improve passenger safety and combat fare evasion
• A new footbridge and lifts linking the platforms; and
• Improved integration with local buses and taxis
The station redevelopment will link with the recently-completed 900-space multi-storey car park, and complements refurbished customer facilities on the station's northbound platform.
East Coast is working closely with Metro to ensure the new station delivers high quality facilities for local as well as long-distance rail travellers.
Funding for the station redevelopment was approved in late 2011, following a successful joint application by East Coast and Network Rail, supported by Wakefield Council.
East Coast Stations and Property Director Tim Hedley-Jones said: "We are keen to give as many people as we can a chance to have their say on these exciting plans for a new Wakefield Westgate station.
"The completion of the new station next year will provide a stunning new gateway to a city which is really going places, a key destination for both business and leisure travellers.
"East Coast's frequent and fast services between Wakefield and London are a vitally important part of the economy of the city and the West Yorkshire region. We're looking forward to hearing first-hand from local people as we plan for the construction of a new station at the heart of Wakefield's economic success."
Cllr Peter Box, Leader of Wakefield Council said: "I'm very pleased that work is expected to start at the end of the year on the new Westgate train station. The new rail station has always been an integral part of the master plan for the re-development of the area and it's good to see things moving forward.
"We have been working closely with East Coast, Network Rail, Metro and the English Cities Fund to develop the scheme and I hope everyone takes this opportunity to come and have a look at the plans and have their say on the new station."
David Wells, Development Director at English Cities Fund said: "English Cities Fund is very happy to have been able to contribute towards this exciting redevelopment of the station. This, along with the development of Merchant Gate, will give the city the gateway it deserves."
The new station will be built and owned by rail infrastructure provider Network Rail, working under contract to East Coast which manages Wakefield Westgate station.
Phil Verster, Route Managing Director for Network Rail, said: "Stations provide important gateways to the cities they serve. This new station plus the extensive refurbishment and improvement being completed at Kirkgate station will provide visitors with a better impression of Wakefield, as well as improving facilities for regular travellers.
"It is important that local people comment on the plans in order to guide the design and development process. I would encourage as many people as possible to give us your comments."
Visitors to the "Meet the Manager" event at Wakefield Westgate will also be able to comment on the expansion of East Coast train services, launched in May 2011, which increased the number of services from Wakefield Westgate to provide:
• 32 direct services to London each weekday
• 18 direct services to London on Saturdays
• 17 direct services to London on Sundays
• Average journey times to London are four minutes faster at 1 hour 58 minutes
• A new fastest journey time of 1 hour 47 minutes on the weekday flagship peak service leaving Leeds at 0700, stopping at Wakefield Westgate at 0712 and travelling non-stop upon arrival at London King's Cross at 0859


Less than 24 hours after the drama of the Singles medals finals day, Commonwealth Games Squash action switched to Doubles as players took to the wider courts in bids for glory in the Men's, Women's and Mixed events at Oxenford Studios in Gold Coast, Australia.
There was a significant Pool upset early in the day in the women's event when Rachel Arnold & Sivasangari Subramaniam, the ninth seeds from Malaysia, brushed aside top seeds Joelle King & Amanda Landers-Murphy, the reigning world champions from New Zealand.
The match took place some 16 hours after King celebrated becoming the first Kiwi to win a singles gold medal - after surviving a dramatic and energy-sapping 78-minute final.
But Arnold & Subramaniam clearly made no allowances for this, storming to a shock 11-10, 11-10 best-of-three victory (the standard doubles scoring) over the favourites.
"We were ready for a tough match," said 21-year-old Arnold, ranked 51 in the world. "We stuck to our plan and we played really well."
Rising Malaysian star Subramaniam, a 19-year-old Games debutante ranked 42 in the world, added: "We've played a lot of doubles in Malaysia - we did a lot of work to focus on doubles, so we were well-prepared.
"It was a really good start for us - especially as they are top seeds in the draw. I was really pleased with what I did in the singles - our confidence levels are getting higher. But we've got to keep going and win tomorrow."
King made up for her disappointing doubles start later in the day when she teamed up with men's singles final runner-up Paul Coll to beat Papua New Guinea pair Lynette Vai & Madako Junior Suari 11-4, 11-7 in the Mixed event.
The packed showcourt crowd enjoyed the first of three home wins on the day when fifth seeds Zac Alexander & David Palmer dismissed Cayman Islands pair Alexander Frazer & Jacob Kelly 11-6, 11-3 in an early Men's doubles qualifier.
"Just focussing on the men's doubles - the one event for us - is great," explained Palmer, a double Doubles gold medallist in the Glasgow Games in 2014 and the player with the most Games medals of all-time - eight in five appearances since 1998. "Having the extra courts to practise on has been the first time ever, at any Games, so I think that will definitely help us later in the tournament when the matches get harder.
"We've played a couple of world championships, we partner up well - I'm on the backhand and Zac's on the forehand so I think we mix up pretty well, between his attack and my experience."
On celebrating his sixth appearance in the Games in 20 years, the 41-year-old from New South Wales said: "It's a funny feeling, but I still get nervous. It's fun, I still like to compete - and especially here in Australia. We don't get to play many times in front of our Aussie crowd - it's motivational watching people like Pilley play, with a huge crowd behind him - and hopefully it'll happen for us this week in the doubles. We're a little under the radar I think, which is good, but on the day we're still capable of doing well."
What is the motivation to keep coming back? "I'm coaching a lot now, but I miss that competitive side - I don't get to play too many events for myself any more - and also the fact that it's here on the Gold Coast in Australia. I remember how great it was playing in Melbourne. Level-wise I'm still OK to play, body is still pretty good. I'm still looking for another challenge and I'd love to get another medal with Zac.
"I'm not here to make the numbers up - I'm here because I still think we can do very well."
After resting during the singles, England's Jenny Duncalf & Adrian Waller both made their first Gold Coast appearances by beating New Zealanders Amanda Landers-Murphy & Zac Millar 11-5, 10-11, 11-5 - recovering from the loss of the second game after being ahead by taking the decider.
"Doubles always is fast and furious - it's definitely more frantic than singles and you can't afford to fall back on your feet at any time in the entire match," said Duncalf, a former world No.2 making her fourth appearance in the Games. "We were pleased to come back in the third strong.
"It's my fourth Games - but I'm still young at heart and on occasions like this and tournaments like the Commonwealth Games, I still get so excited - just watching, it's brilliant, but we've been chomping at the bit to get on court."
Waller added: "We seem to have been waiting a week or ten days - so it's great to get out there. There's nothing that beats being on court.
"We have managed to practise every day. We settled really well there (in the match) and are happy to move on to tomorrow. We've played bits and pieces over the summer - but this is the first time we've played competitively."
India's defending Women's gold medallists Joshna Chinappa & Dipika Pallikal Karthik squandered a lead in the first game to go 1/0 down before coming back strongly to beat Pakistanis Faiza Zafar & Madina Zafar 10-11, 11-0, 11-1.
"They definitely played a lot better than we expected," admitted Chinappa later. "We were 10-7 up so we obviously had no business losing that first game - but they had a few good shots and few winners.
"But we regrouped and decided enough is enough and wanted to finish it off as quickly as possible - and I think the scoreline shows that!"
When asked what it was like to return as the defending champions, Pallikal explained: "We're usually used to defending titles every year, but this is a four-year gap and a lot has changed over the last four years - the competition's higher than what it was four years' back.
"We can't take anything lightly so we're just excited to be here. Yes, we do want to defend our gold but I think the main thing for both of us is to enjoy the whole process of trying to win the whole event.
"When we got back home last time, there was a lot of spotlight on us, a lot of attention - which was great. We were just excited about it, not just personally but for squash in general.
"I guess for us to have won that gold told people that we were as good as any other athletes in the country and we can win a gold at the highest standard. It was huge for us - even today people call us the Commonwealth gold medallists so hopefully we can go back home next week with another gold so that people can call us double gold medallists!"
Men's singles gold medallist James Willstrop was also back in action, partnering Declan James to an 11-4, 11-4 win over British Virgin Islands' duo Joe Chapman & Neville Sorrentino.
"I've obviously come off a heavy few days and Declan's fresh," said Willstrop. "I'm now very keen to make sure I'm ready to play as well as I can - I've got to recover well and forget about yesterday.
"Having won yesterday, you're on a high - it's a lovely feeling. There's the physical aspect you need to get round - but there's no lack of motivation. I'm really up for this. We've worked so hard together. I feel it's quite comfortable to put an end to the matter of yesterday - this is a new thing now."
James, making his first appearance in the Games, added: "I was bringing in some fresh legs - I've been here for ten days now, training, preparing and seeing the boys battling in the singles so I've got the bit between my teeth now. If I can add a bit of freshness and sharpness to Jimbo's momentum then I'm hoping that will make for a potent combination."
Aussie doubles hope are being led by top men's seeds Ryan Cuskelly & Cameron Pilley, the reigning world champions. Pilley came away with gold both in 2010 and 2014 - in the former a mixed gold with Kasey Brown and in Glasgow the men's gold with David Palmer.
He and Cuskelly - who appears back to full strength after being forced to withdraw from the singles event with a leg injury - began their 2018 campaign in impressive style beating Fiji pair Sailesh Pala & Romit Parshottam 11-3, 11-0.
Aussie compatriots Rachael Grinham & Donna Urquhart were two of several players who played three matches on day one. Together the duo won two women's doubles clashes - the final one of which saw the fourth seeds resist a spirited attack from Samantha Cornett & Nikki Todd, the fifth seeds from Canada, to win 5-11, 11-9, 11-4.

The Sad Song of the Wolf
Posted on March 12, 2015 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud
Wolf Mountain Sanctuary
For as long as I can remember, I've loved wolves.
This little Jewish girl from Detroit dancing around in a pink tutu and satin toe shoes harbored a secret desire to live among the wolves and become accepted as a pack member.
Crazy, right?
Crazy because the only wolves I encountered in Detroit were the hormone-addled little boys at the Jewish Community Center.
"The gaze of the wolf reached into our soul." Barry Lopez
It wasn't until we moved to California and I was in college that I did anything about it.
Back in the 1970s, I joined the fight to save the wolf from extinction by advocating for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA),
In college, I studied predators and made plans to accompany research scientists and live with wolves in Minnesota and Michigan but never fulfilled that dream because I couldn't (obviously) bring my dog, and I didn't want to leave her.
Another dream unfulfilled. Oh, well.
Wolf print, Yellowstone
I was lucky to finally get to Yellowstone National Park and see IRL several of the wolves who make up the Lamar Valley pack, but we never heard the song of the wolf, probably because we camped right on Slough Creek and the water, while beautiful, drowned out most animal sounds.
I'm still involved in the never-ending fight to save, defend, and protect this magnificent animal; read about my experiences in Sacramento when I testified at the Fish and Wildlife Service's wolf delisting hearing: Saving Wolves.
From my testimony: "At 6:00 a.m., a few miles outside our camp at Slough Creek, we followed others to a bison carcass, and our efforts paid off with a multiple sighting of many wolves, including 755. There was an overwhelming sense of awe among the dozens of us who silently watched him cross the road and then a collective sigh of relief when he disappeared safely over the ridge.
Last weekend, we took a drive to the Mojave Desert town of Lucerne to spend a few hours at Wolf Mountain Sanctuary, a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 1976 by Tonya Littlewolf.
Eleven wolves call this sanctuary home, and while I finally heard the haunting song of the wolf, the whole experience could only be described as sad.
Why sad?
Sad because these magnificent creatures NEED to be rescued.
Sad that humans think they have the right to try and make pets out of these wild animals. (Not gonna work.)
Sad that the wolves can't roam free, sad they're hunted, tortured, hated, vilified.
Wolves are among the most intelligent species.
HOW DARE WE DESTROY THEM.
So yes. Sad. Very sad.
From Wolf Mountain Sanctuary website…all volunteer educational organization dedicated to the preservation, protection, and proper management of wolves in the wild and in captivity. We are a forever home for all of the wolves we rescue. We rescue wolves from the movie industry, private owners, and from breeders. The impression a 180 pound wolf leaves on you is everlasting. To look into their knowing, wise, amber colored eyes is a moving, spiritual experience. When you look into the eyes of a wolf, you see your soul…
"We have doomed the Wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be..the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer..which is, in reality no more than a reflexed images of ourself." Farley Mowat
Denali (Deh-Nah-Lee) ("Great One" or "Highest Mountain") was one of two pups born in the wilds of Alaska. He was rescued from the wolf-killing that was taking place in that state, both by private citizens and government agencies.
He's a beautiful wolf with a golden sand coat. Denali's personality is very sweet, curious, and friendly.
The wolves at Wolf Mountain Sanctuary seem to be well cared for and healthy.
When I met this handsome guy, Holan, he immediately jumped up, put his front paws on my shoulders, and licked my face. See my joy? This is the smile of someone who loves wolves.
"The wolf is neither man's competitor nor his enemy. He is a fellow creature with whom the earth must be shared." L. David Mech
Look at him. The eyes. Amazing.
Sniffing around where we had been seated.
"Throughout the centuries we have projected on to the wolf the qualities we most despise and fear in ourselves." Barry Lopez
"Inescapably, the realization was being borne in upon my preconditioned mind that the centuries-old and univerally accepted human concept of wolf character was a palpable lie. On three separate occasions in less than a week I had been completely at the mercy of these "savage killers"; but far from attempting to tear me limb from limb, they had displayed a restraint verging on contempt, even when I invaded their home and appeared to be posing a direct threat to the young pups." Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf

A Man Among Wolves
http://youtu.be/j4vFBXOoHs0
From Wolf Mountain Sanctuary website:
WHY SAVE THE WOLF? Look at them: they are so noble, so beautiful. The wolf, as well as other endangered species, are ecological indicators. It is by studying these species and learning how to preserve them that we learn the main factors affecting our environment.
Perhaps in so doing, we will learn undiscovered ways to benefit mankind!
Unfortunately, there are those who deny the wolf's place in the ecosystem. Wolves are gunned down from airplanes and snowmobiles (which some consider "sport"). Sometimes the fur is taken; however, more often than not, the animal is simply left to decay.
The wolf is poisoned "en masse," trapped by leg-hold traps, used as adornments for the idle rich.
Today, the wolf's range is limited to Alaska, Canada, the upper Midwest, and in Yellowstone National Park. Some of the YNP wolves have traveled into adjoining states, which allow hunters to kill wolves on sight and for little to no reason. In the 1930's, there were approximately 50,000 wolves roaming the North American continent. By the 1940's, that number had been decreased to 1,000. Today, mostly because of conservation efforts, there are approximately 3,000 wild wolves on the entire continent. They have made a small comeback, but because of the recent delisted from the Endangered Species Act, wolves are once again under attack.
Wolf lovers need to band together and do all we can to help them. TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
Only you can save the wolf from extinction. Proper management procedures must be put into action.
Won't you join us in the wolf's campaign? Please help the wolves any way you can: sign all petitions you can to stop the wholesale slaughter of wolves and donate to organizations focused on protecting the wolf!
And here's something else we can do NOW.
It's important to help out those wonderful humans who devote their lives to protecting wolves like Wolf Mountain Sanctuary and Dearborn Wolf Sanctuary.

Saving Wolves
Posted on November 26, 2013 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud
I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make the world a kinder place for animals; cats, dogs, cows, pigs, sheep, horses, whales, dolphins, elephants, animals used in laboratory experiments — you get the picture, right?
Animals are awesome.
Animals should have legal rights — they should be better protected and defended.
Everyone has issues they're passionate about, and this is one of mine.
No animal needs our help more than wolves.
Wolves are being killed, slaughtered, mutilated, exterminated.
I went to Sacramento so that I could testify at the Fish and Wildlife Service's wolf delisting hearing on November 22. He was there to make sure that I stayed out of jail. It's kind of a joke but not really. Being around hunters and others who enjoy killing animals makes me so mad that you can almost see me explode with RAGE. The smoke-out-of-the-ears kind of rage. The kind of rage that has no filter. THAT kind of rage.
I'm sure that I'm one of the most skeptical people in the world when it comes to the reasons why our government is motivated to do ANYTHING, but this particular issue boggles my mind to a crazy degree.
This horrible and scientifically flawed idea that wolves are in a position to have recovered enough numbers to be formally removed from the Endangered Species List is what has driven thousands of Americans to protest, speak out, argue against it, and do whatever they can to continue to protect these beautiful creatures from certain extinction — again.
A hunter who kills a wolf belongs to a subsection — a microcosm — of a human being whose sole purpose in life is the extermination of a species.
It's scary, people. Really scary.
From what I understand, funded in part by the Koch Brothers' smoke screen organization, American Prosperity Group, ranchers and hunters have declared an all-out war against the wolf — any wolf, Gray Wolf, Red Wolf or Mexican Wolf, coyotes, any and all predators that they incorrectly believe threaten THEIR skewed right to breed, grow, and eventually murder their own cattle and sheep.
Current research indicates other successful non-lethal options to protect their "investment" animals — living and breathing creatures whose sole existence is to breed and grow to one day be killed — yet another reason why we don't eat meat.
What this potential delisting has helped to unleash is a group of sadistic hunters who are entrenched in zoosadism.
Zoosadism is a term used to refer to the pleasure that an individual gains from the cruelty to animals. SEXUAL PLEASURE. Zoosadism is getting sexually excited by causing harm to animals and is considered a form of animal abuse. Have you seen all those horrible photos on the internet? Zoosadists are true sociopaths.
At the hearing, one of the first speakers was Chief Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem WintuTribe of American Indians near Mount Shasta. She received much deserved applause and shouts of support when she said that the wolf had long been a spiritual figure for her tribe.
"The wolf is our teacher," she said, explaining that its extended pack relationships served as an example for human families. She compared the hunting of wolves out of fear to the killing of American Indians.
There were so many amazing speakers who spoke with intelligence, passion, dedication, and concern for the wolf.
Selfie cos hub takes horrible pics.
WIth 500-600 attendees, and the knowledge that there was a videographer who recorded all the speeches as official government testimony, you'd think I would have been nervous, but I've always had plenty of public speaking confidence (some might call it chutzpah,) — especially with five-inch heels and a Chanel on my arm.
***TRANSCRIPT OF MY SPEECH***
"It is past time to take the words of Gandhi to heart: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Why is the term "delisting" synonymous with hunting, bloodsport, and the murder of a species?
Is this the only barbaric method "good science" has for "species management"?
Instead, let's call it what it really is: government sanctioned murder.
De-listing really means that it's OK to hunt, torture, and destroy species and is really just legalizes more brutality.
We cannot allow the current administration to give up on wolf recovery for the gray wolf OR the Mexican wolf or relinquish species survival to the states.
I'm from here in California where we have excellent habitat but no wolves and I absolutely do NOT support any (Fish and Wildlife Service's) proposal to delist the gray wolf, a barely recovering endangered species that's currently being slaughtered for political gain.
We need to manage wolves and other wildlife in a healthy and sustainable way so that future generations can enjoy the benefits of our rich wildlife heritage. However, management cannot mean the hunting and murder of a species.
That the irrational and enduring hostility to wolves still exists, and that hundreds of more wolves will be killed — is wrong and the cruel methods allowed for hunting and trapping wolves are deeply disturbing and sociopathic, egregious, and inhumane.
Our own life changing visit to Yellowstone in August fulfilled my lifelong dream to see the wolves of Lamar Valley.
At 6:00 a.m., a few miles outside our camp at Slough Creek, we followed others to a bison carcass, and our efforts paid off with a multiple sighting of many wolves, including 755.
There was an overwhelming sense of awe among the dozens of us who silently watched him cross the road and then a collective sigh of relief when he disappeared safely over the ridge.
Those same wolves are being murdered the instant they cross that invisible border out of the park. It's absolutely insane.
WE hold the power to ensure that we're not the last generation to view a wolf in nature; not confined in a zoo, or most importantly, not dead after being tortured and then displayed as a "trophy".
The truth is that wolf recovery is far from over.
According to many leading scientists, we've entered into an era of mass extinction, which will not have run its course until biodiversity levels are less than twenty-five percent of what they are now.
I'm here to push back against this culture of extinction.
I'm here because of the legacy I want to leave behind for our children.
More than thirty years ago, I did my small part to advocate for the addition of wolves to the Endangered Species List.
I wrote letters and joined forces with groups dedicated to protecting the wolf from certain extinction and it's shameful that we're back to the beginning.
It appears that the last thirty years have culminated in the nurturing of this species' growth for the single sacrificial purpose to provide animals for thrill killing hunter/murderers and that's why continued protection is even more necessary.
Our collective legacy will not be celebrating wolf recovery, but rather their unnecessary deaths will become your ONLY legacy.
Do NOT delist the gray wolf. Outlaw all hunting of wolves."
Cleveland Amory: "Hunters should be hunted themselves, to prevent hunter overpopulation and to undo the effects of inbreeding."

Compassionate Mind Training
Compassion in a T-Shirt
Stan Steindl
What I love about the way MI and CFT work together!
This is the third and final blog in my "What I love..." series. The first was what I love about Motivational Interviewing (MI), the second was what I love about Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and this third blog is about my greatest love of all (professionally speaking, of course): bringing together MI and CFT and the way they can be so helpful for each other!
First, CFT is helpful to MI!
In 2013, Professors Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick published the third edition of their book Motivational Interviewing: Helping people change. There was much excitement in the MI community. What would be kept? What would change?? Well, one thing that changed was that compassion was formally added to the MI Spirit, alongside partnership, acceptance and evocation. This was an important addition, and was described by the authors as "...having our heart in the right place." But what did that mean?
Enter CFT with its rich and established, multidimensional sense of compassion and cultivating the compassionate mind. Compassion is a sensitivity to suffering in self and others, with a commitment to try to alleviate and prevent it. And there are many competencies and qualities: sensitivity, sympathy, distress tolerance, empathy, non-judgment, care for well-being, wisdom, strength and courage, a caring-commitment and helpful action. Ok! There is a lot to work with there to understand and develop compassion as part of the MI Spirit and help people change!!
Second, MI is helpful to CFT!
One of Professor Paul Gilbert's great contributions (there are actually so many, and this is just one!) to the science of compassion is an understanding of a person's fears, blocks and resistances to compassion across the three flows: for others, from others, and self-to-self. These various inhibitors get in the way of the compassion motivation. For example, people might feel like others will take advantage of them if they are compassionate, that receiving compassion from someone else makes them weak, or that they themselves don't deserve their own compassion, So in CFT, it is vital to find ways to help people navigate their way through these fears, blocks and resistances, and to discover their facilitators of compassion, the perceived benefits and the motivating factors.
Enter MI, and the beautiful, heartfelt, skillful conversations MI can offer to help people find their way through their own ambivalence and gradually commit to change or action. In the case of compassion and self-compassion, MI offers a framework for exploring fears, blocks and resistances, accepting and validating those reservations, helping people feel heard and understood, and then gently guide them towards exploring facilitators of compassion.
Presenting on MI for CFT for Concept at Palo Alto University, February 2020.
What would you really like to do about compassion or self-compassion in your life? If you were to be more compassionate, how would you go about it? What are your top three reasons for cultivating a compassionate motivation? What makes cultivating compassion really important to you? And let's make a commitment...what will you do?
So there you have it.
CFT can really inform and enhance the way we bring compassion to the MI Spirit, and MI can really assist us in navigating the inhibitors and facilitators of compassion and build compassionate motivation and commitment. In so many ways, they are a perfect match! And that's what I love about the way MI and CFT work together.

(also written 2014 OL339) is an Aten asteroid that is a temporary quasi-satellite of Earth, the fourth known Earth quasi-satellite.

Discovery

 was discovered on 29 July 2014 by Farid Char of the Chilean University of Antofagasta. The actual observers were O. Vaduvescu and V. Tudor, observing from the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory for the EURONEAR project with the Isaac Newton Telescope. The intended target of the program was the Apollo asteroid  but F. Char identified  as a streak near the edge of the observed field. As of 14 August 2015, it has been observed 39 times with an observation arc of 381 days.

Orbit and orbital evolution

 is currently an Aten asteroid (Earth-crossing but with a period less than a year). Its semi-major axis (currently 0.9994 AU) is similar to that of Earth (0.9992 AU), but it has a relatively high eccentricity (0.4607) and moderate orbital inclination (10.1910°). Gravitational interaction with Earth causes its orbit to change so that its average period is one year (This means it alternates between being an Aten asteroid and being an Apollo asteroid.) Its mean longitude (around the Sun) is similar to that of Earth, which means that it is fairly close to Earth (less than about 1.5 AU). This makes it a quasi-satellite. It moves in a kidney-shaped path going from east to west relative to Earth ("retrograde", the opposite way from the Moon). The relative mean longitude compared to Earth (that is, its mean longitude minus that of Earth) librates around zero. This means that the center of the "kidney" moves back and forth over a period of years, from being in front of Earth to being behind Earth, but this movement is centered on Earth.

It became a quasi-satellite at least 775 years ago and will stop being that 165 years from now after a "close" encounter with Earth (0.13 AU). This quasi-satellite episode will have had a duration of around a thousand years or more, but less than 2,500 years. Before and after this episode it passes in and out of other types of co-orbital orbits, such as being a trojan or a "passing object" (one whose relative longitude to Earth can attain any value, which is not the case for a quasi-satellite or a Trojan).

Physical properties

With an absolute magnitude of 22.9, it has an estimated diameter of approximately 170 meters for an albedo of 0.25, which is typical for stony asteroids.

Q: Looping Through a certain range with an If clause I am pretty new to coding and wrote a bit of code which doesn't work and I understand why, but can't figure out a way to solve it.
What I want to do is that my code checks each cell in column B what number is displayed and then fills in the according string in column E. My Problem is that my Loop doesn't work, because I probably should use the "for each" Loop or not? and that I can't figure out how to do my ifclause without using Ranges but instead cells.
Thank you for your time and help!
Dim x As Long

For x = 2 To 1000
    Range ("E" & x)
        If Range("B2") = 6002 Then
            Range("E2") = "Gehälter " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6003 Then
            Range("E2") = "Üst-Pauschale " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"

            Range("E2") = "Sonderzahlung " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6110 Then
            Range("E2") = "SV-DG Anteil " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6211 Then
            Range("E2") = "MVK " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6410 Then
            Range("E2") = "Dienstgeberbeitrag " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6420 Then
            Range("E2") = "Dienstgeberzuschlag " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B2") = 6430 Then

            Range("E2") = "Sonstige Zulagen " & Month(Range("G2")) & "/2016"
Else: Range("E2") = ""
End If
Next x

That is what it should look like!
enter image description here

A: Dim x As Long, s As String

For x = 2 To 1000

    Select Case Cells(x, "B").Value
        Case 6002: s = "Gehälter"
        Case 6027: s = "Üst-Pauschale"
        'other cases....
        Case Else: s = ""
    End Select

    Cells(x, "E").Value = IIf(s <> "", s & " " & _
                             Month(Cells(x, "G").Value) & "/2016", "")

Next x

A: You never change the rows that you are evaluating as you loop through the cells.
This will correct your code:
Dim x As Long

For x = 2 To 1000

    If Range("B" & x) = 6002 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Gehälter " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6003 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Üst-Pauschale " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6027 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Sonderzahlung " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6110 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "SV-DG Anteil " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6211 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "MVK " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6410 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Dienstgeberbeitrag " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6420 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Dienstgeberzuschlag " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6430 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Kommunalsteuer " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6691 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Km-Geld " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 7731 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Reisekosten " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6035 Then
        Range("E" & x) = "Sonstige Zulagen " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
    Else: Range("E" & x) = ""
    End If
Next x

But I would use a Select Case statement and do this:
Dim x As Long
Dim MyValue As String
For x = 2 To 1000
    Select Case Range("B" & x)
        Case 6002
        MyValue = "Gehälter"
        Case 6003
        MyValue = "Üst-Pauschale"
        Case 6027
        MyValue = "Sonderzahlung"
        Case 6110
        MyValue = "SV-DG Anteil"
        Case 6211
        MyValue = "MVK"
        Case 6410
        MyValue = "Dienstgeberbeitrag"
        Case 6420
        MyValue = "Dienstgeberzuschlag"
        Case 6430
        MyValue = "Kommunalsteuer"
        Case 6691
        MyValue = "Km-Geld"
        Case 7731
        MyValue = "Km-Geld"
        Case 6035
        MyValue = "Km-Geld"
        Case Else
        MyValue = ""
    End Select

    Range("E" & x) = IIf(MyValue = "", "",  MyValue & " " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016")

Next x

The Select Case will make if much easier to modify.

A: Is this what are you looking for?
Dim x As Long

For x = 2 To 1000
        If Range("B" & x) = 6002 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Gehälter " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6003 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Üst-Pauschale " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6027 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Sonderzahlung " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6110 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "SV-DG Anteil " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6211 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "MVK " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6410 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Dienstgeberbeitrag " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6420 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Dienstgeberzuschlag " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6430 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Kommunalsteuer " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6691 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Km-Geld " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 7731 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Reisekosten " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
        ElseIf Range("B" & x) = 6035 Then
            Range("E" & x) = "Sonstige Zulagen " & Month(Range("G" & x)) & "/2016"
Else: Range("E" & x) = vbNullString
End If

Next x

A: Use Select Case to simplify your code, you might add more cases in the future.

A: there was a Range("E" & x) pending with no methods or properties to make something out of it
moreover you may want to:

*

*use Option Explicit statement that with a little extra cost of having you declare all variables pays you back with much more control over your code and reduced debugging and maintaining efforts

*use Select Case block which is less verbose and more readable
which results in:
Option Explicit

Sub main()
    Dim strng As String
    Dim cell As Range

    With Worksheets("MyWorksheet") '<--| always use fully qualified range reference (change "MyWorksheet" with your actual sheet name)
        For Each cell In .Range("B2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp)) '<--| loop through column "B" cells from row 2 down to last non empty one
            Select Case cell.Value

Internal Medicine encompasses a very wide range of topics. It is medicine for patients who are 16-years-old or older, and covers all the ailments that adults can be present with.
Being able to provide evidence-based medicine is both a challenge and a privilege. I enjoy being able to talk to patients about their disease and remedies. I don't see my role as simply a prescribe of medications but rather using my knowledge to educate patients about their disease and treatments.
Sometimes those remedies include herbal supplements. When patients take these supplements, there is a simple question to ask, where is the evidence that whatever substance they are taking actually works.
Any good scientific study will account for those situations where a person improves but that has nothing to do with the treatment. Medical studies will show that in placebo group, x number of patients improved, in the treatment group y number of patient improved. A treatment is valid if y is bigger than x.

Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets.
We were contacted by the production team working on the latest series of Peaky Blinders. They required some thick black oil for filming a scene in the upcoming season.

Album Review: Hozier – "Wasteland, Baby!"
Ryan Feyre March 22, 2019 0 0
Recording a hit single can be a blessing and a curse for any artist. In one regard, your art is finally heard, and an audience is acquired. On the flip side, following up that Billboard-topping song can be a daunting task. Irish singer/songwriter Hozier knows a thing or two about living up to high expectations.
"Take Me to Church" was a 6x platinum hit, and officially solidified Hozier as a global phenom. Six years later, he's back with with his sophomore record Wasteland, Baby!, hoping to gain back the spotlight.
Instead of playing to the masses, Hozier creates his most versatile project to date. He's not shy when it comes to honoring the artists who've impacted him the most, specifically Mavis Staples (who shows up on the intro track, "Nina Cried Power"), Nina Simone and Marvin Gaye. The album starts off strong on "Nina Cried Power," where Hozier celebrates some of the greatest R&B/Gospel songs about power, and standing up for what one believes in.
The first third features the most passionate songwriting of the record-even if some stylistic choices don't always reach their full potential. Hozier's vocal delivery on "No Plan" fails to correlate tonally with the invigorating laser-like bass-line. It's one of the few times Hozier's magnificent voice isn't the forefront of the track.
Hozier continues his streak of integrating multiple genres within his aesthetic, specifically alternative folk, indie rock and R&B. "Would That I" successfully represents the folky side of Hozier: something that's rarely seen throughout his repertoire. The track carries some glossy guitar riffs with a gorgeous hook-"It's not tonight/Where I'm set alight/And I blink in sight/Of your blinding light." Even the subtle Gospel additions are breathtaking; despite the fact they've been used consistently in Hozier's music.
Wasteland, Baby! loses some steam when the Irish songwriter is searching for that next hit song. "To Noise Making (Sing)" and "Be" are two instances where Hozier loses me lyrically, specifically because of their lazy choruses, and recycled themes (mainly on the production side). The Gospel touch can be a nice way to add "meat on the bones," but only when deemed necessary. If the style isn't warranted, then it shouldn't be used.
The instrumentation on the final few songs surprisingly shifts into stale mode, specifically on "Sunlight," where Hozier's vocal inflections and underwhelming handclaps become reminiscent of a bad Imagine Dragons cut (like something off of Origins). Even Hozier's wavy edits on the title track are goofier than intended.
The subdued parts of the record quickly develop into the most interesting ones. Hoosier is at his best when he's not thinking out of the box, like on the acoustic-driven "Shrike"-which acts as an ode to his Irish heritage. The incredibly raw performance is a major highlight within a very ambitious experience.
Aside from a few peculiar aesthetic choices, Hozier comes through with a strong sophomore effort on Wasteland, Baby!; one that features a beautiful folk-infused sound reminiscent of the Nick Drake days. Thankfully, Hozier was able to follow up his big hit with something worthwhile.

Nebraska and the Great Plains are relatively dry places, but the region is not a desert. Much of the plains get an average of 20 inches of rain a year, while a desert is defined as a region that gets less than 10 inches of rain. But 20 inches of average rainfall is nowhere near the 80 inches that some parts of the Pacific Northwest receive in a year.
So, rain means more on the plains than it does elsewhere. In a true desert, people don't expect rain. In wetter climates, they don't have to worry about it. On the Great Plains, we worry about rain all the time. And when the rains don't come – as they didn't during the 30s – about the only thing you can do is find ways to laugh about what you're worrying about most.
That's why the Depression was a rich time for tall tales about water and other conditions. Here are some.
People told tales about seeing birds flying backwards during dust storms to keep from getting sand in their eyes.
There were a whole series of jokes about dust and real estate. Kansas farmers had to pay taxes in Texas because that's where their farms had blown.
Other farmers would have to wait until spring to plow when the south winds would blow their farms back up to them. Others didn't have to worry about rotating their crops – the wind rotated the soil for them.
Fish swam up stream during the 30s and leave a cloud of dust behind them. Either that or they wore goggles to keep the sand out of their eyes.
Housewives scoured pots and pans by holding them up to keyholes during dust storms for the sandblasting effect.
Some farmers developed ingenious ways of measuring the speed of the wind. They stuck a crowbar through a hole drilled in an outside wall. If the crowbar bent, then the wind was normal. But if the crowbar broke, well then, it was best to stay inside until the wind died down some.
One farmer and his son went to town and met another farmer on main street during the drought years. "Looks a bit like rain," said the second farmer hopefully. The other replied, "Well, it doesn't matter much one way or the other to me; I've seen rain. But," he said pointing to his teenage son, "the boy here ..."
Others remember how a 30s dust storm was so thick that a salesman saw a prairie dog 20 feet above ground digging frantically to get back to earth.
Or in another dust storm, the prairie dogs thought they had been buried. So, they dug UP through the dust to get out. Later, the dust storm settled, and for three hours afterward it rained prairie dogs.
Years after the Depression fathers told their children about how they had to walk to school. The first time they told the story it was a mile to school. The next time, it was a mile and a half. The next time it was two miles ... always into the teeth of a dust storm ... and it was uphill ... both coming and going.
In the middle of the dry years, it got so hot that hens were laying hard boiled eggs.
As Nebraska folklorist Roger Welsch has written, "Nowhere are water and life more appreciated than where they are a gift, not an assumption." When the gift doesn't arrive, we turn to humor, "jokes that are not meant to bring forth laughter but give a common ground for the sufferers, jokes that blur the pain and sharpen the hope."

Rock Hall of Fame 2018: Andra Day, Lauryn Hill, and the Roots Pay Tribute to Nina Simone

CLEVELAND, OH - APRIL 14: Recording artist Lauryn Hill pays tribute to Nina Simone during the 33rd Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Public Auditorium on April 14, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Kevin Kane/Getty Images For The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)
Last night, Nina Simone was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and as part of the induction ceremony, Andra Day and Lauryn Hill paid tribute to the late musician with a heartfelt medley of her songs "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," "I Put a Spell on You," and "Feeling Good" in Cleveland.
Day and Hill revealed the true variety of Simone's catalog, as they transitioned from the Civil Rights anthem "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" to the upbeat "I Put a Spell on You" that Simone made her own later in life. Backed by the Roots, the pair found a new side of Simone's material, bridging the gap between the music's original release and the many challenges of the current moment politically. Watch the performance below.
Nina Simone was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with The Moody Blues, Dire Straits, The Cars, Bon Jovi, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Watch Andra Day and Lauryn Hill's tribute below.

Our Tulsa disability attorneys are pleased to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Social Security, which will occur this Friday, August 14.
Throughout the week, we will discuss the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the benefits of its programs like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Now, more than ever, Americans need to be aware of the importance of these programs, as they are a part of the country's social fabric. Millions of Americans rely on these programs for income in the event of their own retirement, disability or the death of family wage earners.
When you hear attacks on Social Security (which are expected due to the upcoming national elections), keep in mind that most people who receive benefits live frugally. According to the NOSSCR, SSDI benefits make up at least 90 percent of income for half of all disabled beneficiaries, with those who receive benefits only getting around $1,130 per month or $35 per day.
In order to obtain SSDI, you must have paid into the program and have earned work credits. For more information about the process, you can visit our FAQ page.
If you need help obtaining disability benefits, contact our Tulsa Social Security lawyers. Disability law is all we do. Continue to follow our blog this week in celebration of the Social Security's anniversary.
